Volunteer Coordinators call out for 2026 GCA Events

We had incredible turnouts at 2025 events including our Halloween Fireworks, Easter Egg Hunt and Family Picnic. 

One of our longstanding December events – the Children’s Christmas Craft Fair, run in conjunction with Glenayre Elementary School as a fundraiser for Crossroads Hospice, had to be cancelled this year due to lack of volunteer support. If you’d like to step up to revitalize and coordinate this event in 2026, we’d love to hear from you! Similarly, we are open to volunteer coordinators wanting to step up to lead new GCA events. Is this you? Please email us at gca.contact@gmail.com

Easter Egg Hunt - Friday, April 3rd, 2026 - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!

We will need about a dozen people to help run the various prize draws, manage the egg hunt areas, and maintain the donut/coffee stations. 

Anyone who has previously participated in the event but has aged out of the egg hunt groups is encouraged to sign up as a volunteer. You wouldn’t want to miss all the fun (and chocolate)! Plus local volunteer experience looks great on your resumé, especially when applying for GCA’s graduation scholarship in Grade 12.

Volunteers should contact the event organizer cindy@myglenayre.ca or text at 604-727-6772

Glenayre Community Association Executive

The GCA Executive can include up to 5 directors so we can potentially include up to two more. If you’re interested in joining the GCA Executive or would like more information on what’s involved, please email gca.contact@gmail.com UPDATED: Feb 1.26
